Police in Portland, Oregon arrested two people after about 150 suspected antifa members marched through Pearl District on Saturday night while smashing windows and spray-painting graffiti on business storefronts including Starbucks and Chipotle.
The demonstrators gathered at The Fields Park at around 9pm on Saturday and began marching through the area to protest the Biden administration’s immigration policies and to denounce ICE.
Images posted on social media show vandalized windows of several shops and restaurants, including Starbucks, Chipotle, Umpqua Bank, and Urban Pantry.
The demonstrations lasted for about two hours, according to KOIN-TV.
They come after Portland this past summer was the sight of a 'summer of rage' - with massive protests led by suspected members of antifa essentially shut down parts of the central city for weeks on end.
Video posted to social media showed several downtown businesses boarding up their storefronts late on Saturday night in response to the demonstrations.
Some of the protesters were heard telling local police to ‘go home’ while residents nearby responded by yelling ‘go home’ at the protesters from their balconies.
At around 10pm, the Portland Police Bureau said that the protests became ‘destructive’ and that the crowds were being told to ‘immediately stop participating in criminal activity.’

I’ve seen similar videos as well. Businesses are apparently either permanently shattered in the ones that are open have their windows covered in plywood or metal grates. Even the ones that use some sort of metal grates, they don’t have displays in their windows like you would normally see in inventory looks to be very, very sparse on the inside.
Downtown Portland, in the middle of the day when you would expect people to be milling about, shopping, etc. The city looks nearly abandoned with only a handful of people walking around.
I seriously have no sympathy for Starbucks or the people of Portland. They wanted it, voted for it, allow it, and endorse it.
Embrace the suck, pinkos.
This putative protest against Biden from the Left is obviously engineered to give him cover. Because now he can dismiss all criticism from conservatives with, “Hey, I’m getting criticized by *BOTH* sides. That means I must be doing something right. It just proves I’m a centrist”.
Right here is the plan of Team Tyranny:
It’s Cloward-Piven on steroids, and open borders is a big part of the plan.

Obamala Harris making good on her promise.
If you look at pics and video from Portland on social media, I seriously doubt this was about ICE.
The MO, including the spray painted graffiti, looked like the same BLM/antifa SSDD to me.
But claiming the rioters were protesting kids in cages makes it sound more acceptable, doesn’t it...

I already read that. These people are sick.
As an aside, I hear that grass is good food in the springtime. Millions of North Koreans can’t be wrong. /sarc
It seems the only business is open or things like Starbucks or other similar chain restaurants. Coincidentally, those same restaurants seem to be getting attacked by antifa/BLM and having their windows smashed out in place looted multiple times.
Why they stay there is beyond me, however, it is likely due to the fact that it is not a local place so they can offset the Portland losses with the other stores around the country.
